Code Map feature was working fine in Visual Studio 15 - Preview 3. but after installation of Preview 4, Code Map option is disappeared. (Initially I have installed Workload - .NET desktop development)

After little search, I found in Release notes that, Architecture Diagrams and Analysis Tools require other workloads to be installed. So I added suggested workloads - Web Development, Windows desktop development with C++

but even after adding these components, I am unable to create/open existing code maps.

Code Map is fully supported in Visual Studio 2017. Please make sure you use the installer for the Enterprise SKU, as Code Map is not available in Professional / Community.

Code Map is a recommended component for the .Net Desktop Development workload, but you can install it in any workload if you go to Individual Components and look for it under Code Tools:

Other possible issues you might have run into:

  • upgrades between pre-release versions are not supported AFAIK, please make sure you do a fresh install
  • if all else fails, open a developer command prompt and run "devenv /setup" and try again

  • do you happen to know how to make the UML options appear in the Architecture menu for VS2017 RC Enterprise? Or how I would go about accessing the UML creation tools? Thanks – Ben Jan 13 '17 at 11:47

    Sorry Ben, UML has been cut starting with VS 2017. We worked on improving the validation with Layer Diagram, so that's the only one left. – Bogdan Gavril MSFT Jan 13 '17 at 12:14
  • understood, thanks for letting me know @Bogdan. I have been searching for a while but this info doesn't seem to have been made readily available. – Ben Jan 13 '17 at 12:49
